One year ago only monthly trips
could be made to the Orient, to Alas
ka and to Panama; and weekly trips
up and down the coast from Puget
Sound to San Diego, California. Now
the service of the above lines has
been more than doubled, besides the
establishment of several new lines.
All this is but the legitimate out
growth of business. These steamers
simply form connections with the
various lines of railway and certainly
speaks volumes for the rapid increase
of business of this coast.
So much for the increase and i'm

Temperance Martyrs.

Every great cause that has for its
object the uplifting of humanity, has
had its martyrs; and the cause of
temperance forms no exception.
Opposition to free rum and saloon has
provoked an amount of hatred and
bitterness of feeling in many COM
munities, which is appalling to con-
template. Good men, who have al
lied themselves with the prohibitory
movement in various parts of the
country, have in many instances
been deserted by their friends:
have been uncharitably talked of by
the general public; and have been
villified, cursed and threatened by
the liquor dealers. Their property
has been secretly destroyed by mis-
creants: and in two recent cases
their very lives were no longer held
sacred by their opponents. The
case of DR.. Haddock of Iowa, is fanil-
lar to all. Another case of the same
kind has occurred in Ohio. The vic
tim. DR.. Northrup, like DIR. Had
dock. vas a devoted and earnest
temperance worker, SO successful
had he been in his opposition TO the
rum traffic of his town of Haverhill.

completed their crime by plunging
knife into his body. An account
of the assassination saws: The
McCoys," are whiskey champions.
and DIR. NOrthrup was a prohibition
list. The McCoys had always run
the townships elections to suit
themselves till Northrup's arrival,
five years ago. He at once changed
things, and was working hard to in
troduce local option. This usurpa-
ton of what the McCoys considered
their political rights, followed by
state of affairs that threatened to
ruin their business, incurred their
bitter hostility, and they resorted to
murder. 1t is to he hoped that the
miscreants who murdered DR.. North
rup will not be allowed to escape
without their just deserts, as wee
the murderers of DIR. Haddock. The
repetition of such dastardly crime
will awaken a strong feeling in all
parts of the country, and if the men
are not promptly tried, convicted
and sentenced, the whole State of
Ohio will suffer in the estimation of
law-abiding men. Such martyrdom,
however, will not check the progress
of the temperance cause. In this as
in religious prosecutions, the blood of
martyrs is the seed of the church.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR. ]
Wdshi11QtO1t, Mdu 2d.

Washington, Idy ID.
The cabinet officers are enthusiasts
tic in praise of their southern trip to
attend the unwilling of the Calhoun
statue. The orator of the occasion,
Secretary Lamar, has been afflicted
with neuralgia ailments since his re-
turn, but he is none the less charmed
with the centre of earthquakes and
its people. To some of the party
Charleston was an old acquaintance,
but with the Postmaster General,
Secretary of the Treasury, and Sena-
ator Voorhees,, it was a first visit, land
they fairly fell in love with the deli
cious atmosphere, royal hospitality
and fine people of the old city. Mr..
Villas remarked that he was prepared
to find very superior people in that
aristocratic old southern stronghold,
but that he was quite surprised to
find such a general high tone prevail
ing among a large portion of the pop
ulation.
Equally delighted with the Nation
al Capital will be the thousands of
visitors who will flock there during
the present month. OF course these
crowds of strangers from every part
of the United States will expect no
hospitable favOrs such as were heap
ed in profusion on the distinguished
Charleston guests. They will have
to look out sharply for their own
breakfasts and lunches and dinners
and beds. But they will see the most
beautiful city in the .world in the
month of flowers, and they can have
a glorious time in many ways. for
Washington is more than "a thing of
beauty" 1t is by far the most in
teresting city in America, as well.
1t is to be regretted that the elevat-
or in the Washington Monument will
not be in active operation during the
National Drill, when SO many sight
seers will be in the city. But instead
of being lifted rapidly through the
